Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook felt strange feelings for each other.

The 4th episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘That Guy is a Black Flame Dragon’ (directed by Lee Soo-hyun and Kim Soo-yeon) that aired on the 25th recorded an average of 4.2% in the metropolitan area, a peak of 5.0%, and an average of 4.0% and a peak of 4.7% nationwide. The 2049 viewership rating was a peak of 1.9% nationwide. (Paid platform, Nielsen Korea)

On this day, the reason why Ban Joo-yeon (played by Choi Hyun-wook) had no choice but to work so hard to become the successor to Yongseong Group was revealed, which aroused regret. The young Joo-yeon went to an animation event with her busy parents, and lost both her parents in a car accident while on the way. Grandmother Jeong Hyo-sun (played by Ban Hyo-jung), who lost her only son, pushed her grandson Ju-yeon into a corner of her heart. Meanwhile, Ju-yeon blamed herself when she saw Hyo-sun crying alone on the anniversary of her parents‘ death, and she buried her pain and wounds and made it her life’s goal to become the person Hyo-sun wanted her to be. However, the more she did, the lonelier Ju-yeon became, and she created the only hiding place she could hide in, the ‘secret room’.

Ironically, the first person to set foot in Ju-yeon‘s secret room, which no one knew about, was Baek Soo-jung (played by Moon Ga-young). Ju-yeon lied that it was her niece’s room, but Soo-jung had no idea. Soo-jung told Ju-yeon, who was lying to hide the truth, “You like comics as well as bands. There are a lot more things I like than I thought. You‘ve come to know more about the director,” making Ju-yeon’s heart race once again. At that moment, when Soo-jung was about to trip over the power line, Joo-yeon put down the limited edition comic book that he had treasured as much as his life and wrapped his arms around Soo-jung‘s waist. Before he realized it, Soo-jung had become more precious to Joo-jung than his favorite possession, raising anticipation for their romance.

In the meantime, Soo-jung and Joo-jung shared each other’s pain. Soo-jung received a call that her father Baek Won-seop (played by Go Chang-seok) had an accident at work, and Joo-jung accompanied Soo-jung to the hospital out of concern. However, Soo-jung, who had been pretending to be brave and taking care of Won-seop, swallowed her tears alone outside the hospital room, and Joo-jung witnessed this. Soo-jung told Joo-jung, “When I go to the hospital, I think of my mother who was sick when I was young,” and brought up her own wounds. The two became closer as they shared their inner feelings that others did not know.


Their secret sharing did not end there. In a situation where he had to report to Hyo-sun, Joo-yeon, whose tablet broke, tried to quickly obtain the data on the office computer, but couldn‘t even tell his secretary his PC password. Joo-yeon hurriedly sent an SOS to Soo-jeong, and told her the password, which had a strong otaku flavor, “Ore wa Akumada” (I am the devil), which made everyone laugh. At that moment, Soo-jeong, who couldn’t understand Joo-yeon‘s words, and Joo-yeon, who was embarrassed to shout “Ore wa Akumada” in the bathroom, made everyone laugh.

More than anything, Joo-yeon’s unconcealable feelings toward Soo-jeong were clearly revealed, drawing attention. Joo-yeon, who opened up everything to Soo-jeong, from the secret room to the computer password, quickly accepted Soo-jeong‘s kindness of secretly giving him chocolate milk in the conference room, and opened his heart. In particular, Joo-yeon said, “I was annoyed that my secret was found out, but it’s not bad to have at least one person who knows my secret.”

On the other hand, before the full-scale renewal project, after having no choice but to lie to Soo-jung due to Hyo-sun‘s instructions, he proposed to cheer Soo-jung up and declared, “The only person who will give me chocolate milk is now Baek Soo-jung.” However, unlike Joo-yeon, Soo-jung was thrilled by the memories of her first love and dark past, Black Flame Dragon, which flashed through her mind when she saw Joo-yeon, raising interest in how she would react when she found out that the dark past of her first love was something they had tried to forget.

At the end of the broadcast, a crisis came to the relationship between Soo-jung and Joo-yeon, who had become close. Soo-jung and Joo-yeon enjoyed a date at the arcade under the pretext of conducting an entertainment market survey. In the midst of this, Soo-jung received a call from Seo Ha-jin (Im Se-mi) asking her to come to his bar for a meal, and she and Joo-yeon headed to ‘Sool-ro’. Just as they were about to arrive at the bar, Soo-jung discovered her untied shoelaces, and Joo-yeon knelt down and tied Soo-jung’s shoelaces, creating excitement. Furthermore, a pink spark that was clearly different from before began to fly between the two people who met each other‘s eyes, increasing the excitement, but an urgent phone call from Ha-jin saying, “Don’t come! There‘s a black flame dragon here” made people curious about the next episode.

Meanwhile, Ha-jin secretly contacted Joo-yeon for a game and knows Joo-yeon now that she’s an adult, and unlike when she was initially nervous about Joo-yeon, she has been watching Soo-jeong‘s changed attitude, saying, “Just a crazy person? It’s kind of funny.” People are curious about what role she will play in Soo-jeong and Joo-yeon‘s romance.
